Retinal Vein Occlusion Market

Market Overview:

The 7 major retinal vein occlusion markets reached a value of USD 2,809.7 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach USD 5,225.4 Million by 2035, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.81% during 2025-2035.

The retinal vein occlusion market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Retinal Vein Occlusion Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2025-2035". Retinal vein occlusion is a condition that mostly affects the blood vessels in the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue covering the back of the eye. In this disease, one or more of the veins that carry blood further from the retina become blocked, disrupting normal blood flow. The common symptoms of the illness include sudden or gradual vision loss, blurring in the eye, distorted or wavy vision, and the appearance of floaters (dark spots or lines) in the visual field. In some cases, individuals suffering from this disorder may also experience pain or pressure in the eye. The diagnosis of the ailment typically consists of a combination of medical history assessment, physical examination, and various other investigations. A visual acuity test, which involves reading an eye chart to determine the sharpness and clarity of the vision, is also utilized among patients. The healthcare provider may further perform several blood workups to evaluate certain aspects that could contribute to the development of the disease, such as cholesterol levels, blood clotting factors, or inflammation markers.

The increasing cases of atherosclerosis, which causes artery narrowing and hardening due to the buildup of fatty deposits, thereby affecting the nearby veins, are primarily driving the retinal vein occlusion market. In addition to this, the rising incidences of various associated risk factors, including tobacco smoking, advancing age, certain systemic diseases, high blood pressure, etc., are creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the widespread adoption of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs, such as ranibizumab, aflibercept, bevacizumab, etc., on account of their numerous advantages, like reducing edema, improving vision, and preventing neovascular complications, is further bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, the escalating application of local laser therapy, since it can be used to target specific areas of retinal swelling or ischemia to inhibit the progression of abnormal blood vessels, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the emerging popularity of intravitreal injections of steroids, which exert their anti-inflammatory action over an extended period, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes, is expected to drive the retinal vein occlusion market during the forecast period.

Recent Developments:

• In July 2024, Roche announced y that the European Commission (EC) has approved Vabysmo (faricimab) for the treatment of visual impairment due to macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion.
• In March 2024, Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced that it obtained regulatory approval  from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for anti-VEGF/anti-Ang-2 bispecific antibody Vabysmo Intravitreal Injection 120 mg/mL (faricimab), for an additional indication of the treatment of macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Vabysmo is the first bispecific antibody in Japan for the treatment of this disease.
• In February 2024, Annexin Pharmaceuticals AB reported that 6 out of 8 patients with the eye illness retinal vein occlusion who received the investigational drug candidate ANXV in Phase 2a/proof-of-concept study and were followed for three months or longer demonstrated long-term benefits without requiring multiple anti-VEGF injections.
• In October 2023, Genentech reported that the U.S. FDA has granted approval for Vabysmo (faricimab-svoa) to treat individuals suffering from retinal vein occlusion. Vabysmo can help people maintain and improve their vision, with the added benefit of retinal dryness.

Key Highlights:

• Retinal vein occlusion is the second most widespread retinal vascular condition, affecting 16.4 million people worldwide.
• Retinal vein occlusion is often characterized as central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) or branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) based on the location of the blockage in the retinal vein.
• As per the Blue Mountains Eye Study, the prevalence of BRVO and CRVO is 1.1% and 0.4%, respectively.
• The incidence of retinal vein occlusion rises with age, with more than half of all incidents occurring in people older than 65.
• The Blue Mountain Eye study found an incidence of 0.7% in persons less than 60 years old, increasing to 4.6% in patients 80 and older.

Drugs:

Lucentis refers to a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor developed by Genentech, a member of the Roche Group. It is intended to bind to and inhibit VEGF-A, a protein that is involved in the creation of new blood vessels and the hyperpermeability (leakiness) of existing vessels. Lucentis is FDA-approved to treat patients with macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

ANXV is a novel investigational drug developed by Annexin Pharmaceuticals AB. This therapeutic candidate can immediately increase retinal blood flow, lower the risk of blindness, and provide various other short- and long-term advantages in the acute stage of retinal vein occlusion prior to the appearance of complications.

Faricimab is a dual Ang-2/VEGF-A inhibitor to treat patients with retinal vein occlusion. The medicine targets and inhibits two signaling pathways linked with numerous vision-threatening retinal diseases by neutralizing angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and VEGF-A.
